Magical

VJblogging, challenge, nature, photographylens-artists, magical, nature, photos26 Comments

The stillness of a summer’s day,
a single ray of golden light,
the way the wind curls and teases –

There is magic to be found,
in tucked away places, and
right in plain sight.

(For Lens-Artists photo challenge this week: magical.)

    Really nice but not being productive at all! Ugh – guess it is all good – but the nice weather is throwing me off a bit
